Can a redirected domain rank in big G?

Probably a dumb question but I am curious about this. If I only buy the domain and then redirect it to my affiliate link is there a chance of getting it to rank for the keywords in the title?
The keyword is very low competition 9640 in quotes and less than 500 allintitle: but has 18000 per month search exact according to google keyword tool.
I can get the exact keywords in a .info domain and wanna spam it on youtube and other places and redirect to my affiliate because it has lots of relevant videos.
I really can't afford hosting right now and don't know a damn thing about building a site...Plus the sales page says it all.
Any input would be appreciated!

BTW was gonna build linkwheels and spam blogs for backlinks to the domain if yall say it would be possible to rank.

Wanted to bump this and also ask who is the best to by a domain from if you are going to redirect.....was looking at godaddy but any other suggestions would help. I'm looking for simplicity and reliability....thanks

im thinking that the only way it will actually rank is if you get the domain to be redirected and your pulling in a few thousand visitors on a daily basis, that should show in alexa, the only way to keep it ranked is to actually keep spamming it, once your done spamming it, it will go down in rank a ton. because if your domain is say *fake .com the only way it will show up in search engines is if someone searchs for the domain name (without .com) or with it. so say your doing ewhoring, for *date.com or something then everytime someone searched for *date they would actually pull up *date.com website and not your link. so they would have to be searching for your domain name.

If the URL is redirected and there is no page hosted then it won't show up in Google results. If you have no webpage and just a redirect then there is no page to rank only a URL.

One option if you wanted both would be to look into cloaking. Or perhaps host a page that is optimized for SEO and have the site simply redirect to your destination URL after a specified period of time - just a few seconds or whatever you require.
